In the beginning, God poured His love into a garden.The Bible begins with the story of creation. God builds a beautiful world . . . and a garden. In the garden of Eden, creation drank of Gods goodness and lived in His perfect peace. Yet since the fall of humanity, weve all struggled to find or create our own versions of Eden. Weve been chasing peace in all the wrong places.Nichole Suvar knows this all too well. Living with undiagnosed anxiety for over 30 years, shes tried to build a garden of Eden through perfectionism, control, and endless activity. These self-made solutions only deepened her unrest.I Dont Have to Hold it All Together invites you to return to the garden God created, where true peace was designed, and discover how His original plan holds the answers to your deepest desires. Weaving personal stories, practical wisdom, and insights from experts, Nichole explores the deep truths embedded in Gods original garden, truths about communion with God, purpose, community,the goodness of creation, boundaries, true rest, and more.The rise of anxiety in our culture reflects a broken search for peace. Readers are invited to cultivate a life that seeks after Gods original plan of peace and comfort and identify areas in their life where they have built their own false Eden.The peace weve been searching for isnt something we can create ourselves; its been available to us all along. Come receive His gift.
